Table 2. Predictors of TB infection, evaluation, preventive treatment initiation, and preventive treatment completion.
Participant characteristics | Enrolled | aRR (95% CI) for positive TB infection test | aRR (95% CI) for completing evaluation | aRR (95% CI) for initiating preventive treatment | aRR (95% CI) for completing preventive treatment | |

For the first three analyses, risk ratios are adjusted for risk group, age, and sex; for the analysis of predictors for completing preventive treatment, risk group is not assessed because of small numbers of non-contacts initiating treatment. Abbreviations: aRR = adjusted risk ratio, CI = confidence interval, TB = tuberculosis.
